Subject: [PATCH qemu-server 2/3] partially fix #7801: api: warn about problematic VirtIO driver ISOs
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 16:32:36 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260915143237.1033142-3-n.frey@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260915143237.1033142-1-n.frey@proxmox.com>
Warn when a CD-ROM drive of a Windows guest gets a VirtIO driver ISO
with known issues assigned on update and create.
The OS type can be set in the same request as the drive, so prefer a
newly requested one over the one from the configuration.
